Let V(F_pG) be the group of normalized units of the group algebra F_pG of a finite nonabelian p-group G over the field F_p of p elements. Our goal is to investigate the power structure of V(F_pG), when it has nilpotency class p. As a…

We give an affrmative answer to the question whether a residually finite Engel group satisfying an identity is locally nilpotent. More generally, for a residually finite group G with an identity, we prove that the set of right Engel…
